Five England players have withdrawn from the England squad following the 2-0 win over Estonia.

England won their ninth straight Euro 2016 qualifier on Friday with a comfortable yet uninspiring 2-0 victory over their Baltic visitors thanks to goals from Theo Walcott and Raheem Sterling.

After the game, manager Roy Hodgson confirmed five of the squad would not travel to Lithuania on Monday for the final qualifier in Vilnius.

Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney, who missed the victory in London through injury, will return to Manchester United tonight.

Joe Hart, Gary Cahill and James Milner, who all played 90 minutes against the Estonians, will also not travel to Vilnius, Hodgson confirmed.
